Abstract
Description
- The present disclosure belongs to the technical field of medical instruments, and in particular to an ultrasonic scalpel bit.
- In modern society, with the development of medical technologies, orthopedic surgery shows a tendency of diversification. Accordingly, when performing surgery, it is necessary to use different shapes of scalpel bits for different orthopedic conditions to perform cutting, grinding, scraping, clamping and other operations on an affected area. In orthopedic surgery, ultrasonic scalpels are typically used to cut, grind, plane, scrape, or arbitrarily shape bones. Sheet-shaped bits of existing ultrasonic scalpels are bits which mainly have a cutting function. However, at present, such bits mostly have the shape of a straight sheet. When it is necessary to bypass a spinal cord to cut a posterior portion of a vertebral body during an osteotomy operation, a large operating space is required to allow such bits to enter the front of the spinal cord, which is extremely inconvenient for operation. Moreover, there is no protective measure on the bits at the front, which may easily cause injury to the spinal cord due to operational errors, resulting in medical accidents.
- In order to solve the existing technical problems mentioned above, the present disclosure proposes an ultrasonic scalpel bit, comprising a bit tip, a bit bar and a bit body, one end of the bit bar being connected to the bit tip, and the other end of the bit bar being connected to the bit body, wherein a main body of the bit tip is of a flat sheet structure, an upper and a lower face of which respectively form an upper bit ridge and a lower bit ridge of the bit tip; a protrusion is formed at a front end of the upper bit ridge; the upper bit ridge has a thickness greater than that of the flat sheet structure and that of the lower bit ridge; and the protrusion is smooth and free of edges.
- In the ultrasonic scalpel bit of the present disclosure, preferably, the bit tip is bent to one side at a portion of the bit tip that is connected to the bit bar, such that the bit tip is at an angle to the bit bar.

- In the ultrasonic scalpel bit of the present disclosure, preferably, the bit bar is connected to the bit tip and the bit body respectively through a bevel or a circular arc-shaped face with a smooth transition.
- In the ultrasonic scalpel bit of the present disclosure, preferably, the other end of the bit body is connected to a specific ultrasonic host via an ultrasonic transducer, and the other end of the bit body is provided with connection threads, which are internal or external connection threads.
- The ultrasonic scalpel bit has the following beneficial effects:

In addition, the presence of the toothed structure can facilitate the positioning during surgery while improving the cutting efficiency. Meanwhile, since the ultrasonic scalpel bit of the second embodiment of the present disclosure also has the head protection, it is possible to help a surgeon to bypass the spinal cord for performing a longitudinal cutting operation in a narrow space during a posterior osteotomy operation for vertebral body resection, so that it is possible to safely complete the operation without hurting the spinal cord, thereby significantly reducing the risk of the surgery.
- In the ultrasonic scalpel bit of the second embodiment of the present disclosure, the
bit bar 2 may also be of a hollow structure, and a liquid injection hole (not shown) may be provided in a portion of thebit bar 2 that is close to thebit tip 1 for directly injecting rinsing liquid to thebit tip 1. One end of thebit bar 2 is connected to thebit tip 1, and the other end of thebit bar 2 is connected to thebit body 3. The bit bar 2 smoothly transitions to thebit body 3 through a bevel or a circular arc-shaped face. The ultrasonic scalpel bit is of a hollow structure, and the bit tip is provided with a liquid injection hole, which can ensure that the injected liquid flows out of the portion of thebit bar 2 that is close to thebit tip 1, and sufficient liquid can be injected. During surgery, the entire bit head and the contacted tissue can be completely exposed to cleaning and cooling of the injected liquid in real time, so that the risk of the surgery is further reduced, and the safety and success rate of surgery are improved. -
FIGS. 9 to 11 show an ultrasonic scalpel bit of a third embodiment of the present disclosure.FIG. 9 is a schematic perspective view of the ultrasonic scalpel bit of the third embodiment of the present disclosure,FIG. 10 is a front view of a bit tip of the ultrasonic scalpel bit of the third embodiment, andFIG. 11 is a right view of the bit tip of the ultrasonic scalpel bit. As shown inFIGS. 9 to 11 , the ultrasonic scalpel bit of the present disclosure comprises abit tip 1, abit bar 2, and abit body 3. One end of thebit bar 2 is connected to thebit tip 1, and the other end of thebit bar 2 is connected to thebit body 3. Thebit body 3 is connected to a specific ultrasonic host via an ultrasonic transducer. Similarly to the first and second embodiments, in the ultrasonic scalpel bit of the third embodiment of the present disclosure, a main body of thebit tip 1 is flat (i.e. sheet-shaped) and is formed as aflat sheet structure 10. An upper and a lower planar face of theflat sheet structure 10 respectively form anupper bit ridge 11 and alower bit ridge 12 of thebit tip 1. Aprotrusion 14 is formed at a front end of theupper bit ridge 11. Theupper bit ridge 11 has a thickness greater than that of theflat sheet structure 10 and that of thelower bit ridge 12. Theprotrusion 14 is smooth and free of edges. Theprotrusion 14 may be in the shape of a circle or an ellipse. Theprotrusion 14 transitions to a front end of the bit tip through a stepped portion, a circular arc-shaped portion or a bevel. The front end of thebit tip 1 is provided with a front-end bit blade 13. Compared with the first and second embodiments, the ultrasonic scalpel bit of the third embodiment of the present disclosure is different in that theupper bit ridge 11 transitions to thelower bit ridge 12 through a circular arc-shaped portion 15 at a front end portion of thebit tip 1. The circular arc-shaped portion is provided with teeth 16, forming a toothed structure. That is to say, in the third embodiment of the present disclosure, thelower bit ridge 12 of thebit tip 1 smoothly transitions to the front-end bit blade 13 of the bit tip through the circular arc-shaped portion 15 instead of forming a right angle. Similarly, each tooth 16 of the toothed structure may be in the shape of a triangle, a trapezoid or a circular arc. It is also possible to form the toothed structure on the basis that the circular arc-shaped portion has been edged, that is, to form a beveled, toothed structure. - According to the ultrasonic scalpel bit of the third embodiment of the present disclosure, the energy generated by the ultrasonic transducer can also be more efficiently concentrated to the cutting portion, so that the working point of the bit has the highest energy output. In addition, the presence of the circular arc-shaped toothed structure can facilitate the positioning during surgery while improving the cutting efficiency, and it is possible to apply the ultrasonic scalpel bit to more complicated surgical operations. Meanwhile, since the ultrasonic scalpel bit of the third embodiment of the present disclosure also has the head protection, it is possible to help a surgeon to bypass the spinal cord for performing a longitudinal cutting operation in a narrow space during a posterior osteotomy operation for vertebral body resection, so that it is possible to safely complete the operation without hurting the spinal cord, thereby significantly reducing the risk of the surgery.
- Similarly, in the ultrasonic scalpel bit of the third embodiment of the present disclosure, the
bit bar 2 may also be of a hollow structure, and a liquid injection hole (not shown) may be provided in a portion of thebit bar 2 that is close to thebit tip 1 for directly injecting rinsing liquid to thebit tip 1, so that sufficient liquid can be injected. In this way, during surgery, the entire bit head and the contacted tissue can be completely exposed to cleaning and cooling of the injected liquid in real time, so that the risk of the surgery is further reduced, and the safety and success rate of surgery are improved. - In addition, in the ultrasonic scalpel bit of the first to third embodiments, one end of the
bit bar 2 is connected to thebit tip 1, and the other end of thebit bar 2 is connected to one end of thebit body 3. Thebit bar 2 may smoothly transition to thebit body 3 through a bevel or a circular arc-shaped face. The other end of thebit body 3 is provided with connection threads 31. The connection threads 31 may be either internal or external. During a surgical operation, the connection threads 31 of the tail portion of thebit body 3 are connected to a specific ultrasonic transducer and are tightened using a corresponding wrench, and the ultrasonic transducer is then connected to a specific ultrasonic host, so that the ultrasonic scalpel bit is ready for operation. -
